[QUOTE]Originally posted by emsily0: [QB] honestly, it's really important for you to tell your guardians that you're on the pill. if there is a medical emergency, they will need to tell your doctors all the medications you're on. and there are a few family medical history conditions that may preclude you from taking the pill at all - breast cancer, cervical cancer, just to name two. it sounds to me like your situation is totally different from the one your friend was in, and your dad is likely to understand that eventually. you're trying to protect yourself, where it sounds like your friend was in a position to protect herself but failed to do so. maybe when your dad says he doesn't approve of your friend's parents' decision to put her on the pill, he meant he didn't approve of parents making that kind of preemptive decision - maybe he thinks the idea should come from the person who will be taking the pill? i think you need to tell your dad, and just tell him you're scared about what happened with your friend, and you want to be responsible. also - if you're sexually active, you need to be having annual GYN appointments anyway, as well as STD testing. so even if you weren't going on the pill, you would still need that appointment. :-) good luck! emily [/QB][/QUOTE]
